The frequencies of quits and discharges of male workers were examined to determine whether their early usage of alcohol, marijuana and cocaine affects labor market stability and whether it is time-extensive or goods-intensive. Analysis was based on the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1982-1989. Results showed that early usage of all substances causes job market instability. Moreover, use of alcohol and marijuana was found to be time-intensive.
